I can't agree more. From a question of literary scholarship,
which is often an important consideration if an author is
going to be "re-discovered" by larger presses, the fact that
one or more works by an author are considered to be his best
because of sales figures or popular appeal means next to
nothing. Right now, it can often be easier to publish
articles on works that are basically unknown to other
scholars--usually the more obscure works of more obscure
authors.
